Guild Wars 2

Obscure One.4357:

The fix is stupid simple, but then again so is the dev team…

PvE should be the primary path to loot and gold. Mind numbing no-skill-required content is built for the MMO scrubs which make up the bulk of the MMO community. The success of any MMO is drawn from pleasing these drooling idiots who’re bad at every game they’ve ever played and only ever played on the lowest difficulty setting if given the option. So sure flesh out PvE with a volume of no-skill-required rewards ANet, it’s not like you’re capable of making quality content.

WvW on the other hand should hold the greatest non monetary rewards. We don’t need bull&#! rewards, we need prestigious rewards. Rewards that say "bad mother $&#!er!" and not "Yeah, I had alot of free time." . WvW is supposed to be about putting boot to #&! for your server, not trying to augment your bank account.

Fixing this is as easy as making WvW specific armor, weapons, backslot items, and skill based titles that are only progressed against enemy players ( ex: # of attacks dodged with less than 25% health “Catlike Reflexes” title. # of enemies defeated while you have less than 25% health “Killer Comebacks” title. 60 critical hits landed without a miss/block/reflect in 60 seconds “Steaming Pile of Crit” title.). When a seasoned WvW player that is genuinely good at the game is trapped in a queue, the PvE scrubs should be able to bare witness what awesome looks like and know they’ll never feel the sensation of being challenged nor offered the opportunity to showcase their skill (or more accurately the lack thereof).

pretty much everything this dude said. the WvW devs are failing so hard its almost impossible to believe they aren’t doing it on purpose

giving anet a donation would be about the same as giving that homeless guy in front of the liquor store a few bucks.

sure, he says he will spend it on something useful, but you already know hes just going to buy more booze

heres to another 12 months of not being able to do this. hope they are as amazing as the last 12!

can’t wait to see how bad this league fails

yes it was a poor troll attempt in reference to Hugh’s excuse “your reports were too vague” about glitching through doors

the only real reason i can think of as to why this hasn’t been fixed yet is….anet loves to fail

i think the main reason this hasn’t been addressed yet is that the complaints have been far too vague

its like they printed out a big list of the rank names they came up with, taped it onto a wall, and then put on blindfolds and threw darts at it to determine the order they are achieved

@OP please inquire with devon if they are hiring

DevonCarver.5370:

I’ll post this here as well:

WvW is a game type that we believe very strongly in. We’ve seen that people have been organizing their own combat in WvW and that’s really cool, but WvW requires changes that are not always in step with the gameplay that has been emerging. Our focus is on making WvW as strong as it can be and we will continue to make changes with that in mind. We have been and will continue to discuss these open field battles, but in the meantime the changes we make to WvW will always have that game type first and foremost in mind.

tldr; GvG/dueling is about to take it up the pooper

if friday’s livestream isn’t absolutely unbelievably amazing, these forums will somehow get 100 times more negative than they already are. can’t wait!

I played DAOC for years. I honestly cant recall seeing a single forum post asking for new pvp content. why? the mechanics and gameplay and maps were actually fun, challenging, and didnt grow stale after a few months.

this forum is littered with people begging for new WvW content. think this says a lot about gw2.

but but but you guys, devon said soon!

he makes it sound like they havent even started working on an improvement yet. good thing its only been complained about for the past 12 months

anet making random changes to wvw that no one asked for? just what the heck is going on around here?

so what you are saying is….just another day in WvW?

at the rate they have been releasing new maps for wvw, we can expect gw2 maps to be on par with daoc in about 40 years. almost there guys!

anet should sell something in the gem store that lets your abilities hit more than 5 people at once.

UR WELCOME ANET!!!

if you really want to see how stunningly horrible the combat log is, roll a condition BM ranger

Ahmrill.7512:

one final bump

my boy Ahmrill here has been trying to get this improved for months and months….if even he is ready to throw in the towel, we are all kittened

gw2 was my first experience with NCSoft. long story short, never purchasing anything they have touched ever again (no ty wildstar)

lordkrall.7241:

meep.2601:

yup. for one reason or another, they are determined to make WvW fail (they are succeeding)

Oh?
Based on personal experience and ArenaNets own words that is quite clearly not the case, since the population in WvW has actually increased since January.

based on their words. how about their actions?

yup. for one reason or another, they are determined to make WvW fail (they are succeeding)

daoc rvr in its prime takes a dump on gw2 wvw

incoming Culling Mastery in 2 weeks. guys, this is all just part of anet’s plan to make their ‘mastery’ updates actually seem useful!

just when you thought wvw couldn’t get any worse…anet has outdone themselves again

these forums are a train wreck lol, i love it.

anet created this jaded and bitter community themselves by basically ignoring (and continuing to ignore) WvW since launch.

every two weeks is just another slap in the face when they inevitably roll out yet another terrible siege mastery.

hope you enjoy this terrible environment anet, you have definitely earned it.

when will u give up on esports?

@ op – apparently you didnt get the memo about the groundbreaking SUPPLY MASTERY they are adding in the next patch!!!

it will be a breath of fresh air and will completely revitalize this current stale gameplay

oh whats that? you dont like supply mastery?

dont worry, 2 weeks after that they are adding PvE mastery which should really shake things up

it. wont. happen.

and if it does – lets be generous and say anet implements this a year from today – no one will be here to use it

WvW is imploding at an amazing rate, and I have to say that it is very satisfying to watch.

this thread is full of ideas that could make wvw much more enjoyable. will any of it be implemented? no.

Anet has been completely ignoring great wvw ideas since the betas. thumbs up anet we are proud of you!!

Cosmic Sparklejunk.3514:

I’m operating under the following assumptions:

1. The Anet team wants to put out the best product they possibly, reasonably can;

2. They are competent at their jobs and they know their product and code base better than anyone on this forum;

3. Like most companies they are working with limited resources and they are using their best judgment in light of 1 and 2 above to allocate those resources.

In short, I am assuming good intentions of the Anet team. Some people here do not or believe that there’s a “simple” solution that the team is too stupid to recognize. I personally have found very few simple solutions in life. YMMV.

the fanboy is strong in this one

you guys, how can you expect anet to fix this when your report is so vague?

oh look its our weekly “new maps?” thread

you all heard Hugh. anet’s incompetence is our fault, not theirs.

Hugh Norfolk.2798:

Most reports that we have received were very vague and didn’t give much more information other than the actual objective, but with the help of my QA and what I saw we were able to get a better repro and submit a more detailed bug for further investigation.

probably the worst excuse i’ve ever heard, and that is saying a lot since this is anet we are talking about

yeah its a really terrible game design and they have only made it worse since the game released (nothing but zerg/noob friendly patches). i had such high hopes for wvw in this game. such a huge disappointment all around.

yea its beyond a joke at this point.

things they have worked on instead:

supply trap
stealth trap
siege mastery
terrible wxp titles

good work guys i am proud of you

after almost a full year of nothing but disappointment from the wvw devs (if they even exist), the next game really can’t come soon enough. only reason people are still around is because there is no subscription fee

because esports

seeing as how the last 15 threads made about this didnt get a response from anet – no, there isn’t an ETA

anet tooltips strike again!

devon has been relatively silent for a few weeks, which means he is hard at work on something, which is very frightening

Hodor hodor hodor

well they did just change “outmanned” so this is prob very high on their priority list

its heading to the mythical land of failed mmos (at least WvW, not sure about pve cause I never do it)

edit: no pun intended with the mythic reference

coming up on the 1 year anniversary of asking for this, i would give it another year or 2

how about no. not going to spend real money on something that should already be an option with in-game currency. not that it really matters since most of the wvw skills are useless and boring

hey is your name ken?

terrible skill lag in zerg fights has been in this game since the betas. nothing is going to change.

The Outmanned buff has been renamed to Outnumbered.

wvw is saved!!!1
